New Chip bay panels

[DN22 Gardening]

concrete blocks might be cheaper dean.

 

our local bricky charges £1.00 per block to lay em

 

thats £10 per mtr Sq.

if you said they were £1.00 per block to buy

and say £1.00 per block for the mortar

that equates to £30 per mtr sq in total so your 6m x 1m works out at £180

 

 

 

just thought.....footings....forget i said owt

Some good feedback

 

I read something about effluence the other day hence the reason I thought about a roof, no water on the chip, no runoff, plus it will be better quality if I get too much and sell it off

We got around the planning permission by designing our panels with lifting points so that the panels are classified as a temporary structure. The panels were 4mtrs x 1mtr being the maximum our 3 tonne excavator could lift and place in position.

 

The panels were designed and manufactured by Wolfenden concrete in Kelbrook near Barnoldswick and they were excellent.

I was once thinking of building a bay using concrete railway sleepers which worked out at £ 3 a piece about £10 m2

Just be careful with woodchip it has a nasty habit of spontaneous combustion if it is not dry to start with. Dry woodchip can also combust if it gets wet so a leaking roof might be worse than no roof at all.
